Re: offtopic - unix command
Is there a way to check for the success/failure of the actual remote command when using rsh? $a=$(rsh blah); and parse $a for output for an indication of the blah command succeeding or failing. -- Steven Lembark 2930 W.

RE: offtopic - unix command
I do it all the time with a line like this :
rsh $1 . ${vTARGETPROFILE};mkdir $2;echo \$?
In this case, I am making a directory called $2 at host $1. The unix
command sets the error value so when you can now get that value over on the
calling machine.
You could also do it like this:
rsh ${vTARGETHOST} . ${vTARGETPROFILE};echo \${ORACLE_BASE | read
vTARGETORABASE
In this case, I am getting the value of ORACLE_BASE at the remote host
vTARGETHOST and reading it into the variable vTARGETORABASE.

But what if command blah does not output anything? In this
case, $a is null, as it is when the command fails.

Re: offtopic - unix command
-- Bill Becker [EMAIL PROTECTED] But what if command blah does not output anything? In this case, $a is null, as it is when the command fails. Either: Look for a success message and change the sense of the test. Run the remote command in verbose mode. Wrap the remote command in something that does output a reasonable message (or re-write it to do so if you have any control). If the command has neither verbose mode nor any useful messages by default then give its programmer 30 lashes w/ a wet noodle for designing undecipherable code. -- Steven Lembark 2930 W.

Re: offtopic - unix command
Haven't used rsh in many many moons (ssh is the correct way these daze),
and I have no way to test this but maybe it will work.
RTN=$(rsh otherbox mycmd parm1 parm2 ; [ ${?} -eq 0 ] echo OKAY || echo
FAILED)
if echo ${RTN} | grep OKAY 1/dev/null 21
then
echo GOOD
else
echo BAD
fi
Another option for the first line might be:
RTN=$(rsh otherbox if mycmd parm1 parm2
then
echo OKAY
else
echo FAILED
fi
)
And even another option for the first line is:
RTN=$(rsh otherbox [ mycmd parm1 parm2 ] echo OKAY || echo FAILED)
If you give my the ip address, the username, and add + to your .rhosts
file I would be happy to try it out...lol

These will work but depend on shell-specific syntax. Using
a #! file on the remote end is a bit safer and allows for
comments in the code.
